Edmund Castell's
Lexicon Heptaglotton of 1669

The pages in Castell's Lexicon measure 11" by 17.5". Consequently, the top and botton of each page were scanned separately. The overlap from the double scanning has been retained to asssure the reader that nothing was inadvertently lost. The rigidity of the spine of the folio volumes did not permit uniformity in the scanned images. Care was taken not to damage the volumes, so the quality of the images vary. Most are excellent.
